113.32 	interest rate may continue to make the maximum effort debt service levy in each later year 
113.33 	at the current rate provided in section 126C.63, subdivision 8, if the district can demonstrate 
113.34 	to the commissioner's satisfaction that the district's repayments of the state loan will not be 
114.1 	reduced below the previous year's level. The district must report each sale to the 
114.2 	commissioner.

114.14 	computing the excess amount. A completed copy of this form shall be sent to the 
114.15 	commissioner before December 1 of each year. The commissioner may recompute the 
114.16 	excess amount and shall promptly notify the district of the recomputed amount.

114.21 	debt service levy for that calendar year.

114.26 	the district under this chapter and chapters 120B, 122A, 123A, 123B, 124D, 125A, and 
114.27 	127A by the amount due, after providing written notice to the district.
114.28 		Subd. 2.Application of payments. The commissioner shall apply payments received 
114.29 	under ~~the Maximum Effort School Aid Law and aids withheld according to~~ subdivision 1~~,~~ 
114.30 	~~paragraph (b), as follows: First, to payment of interest accrued on its notes, if any; second,~~ 
114.31 	~~to interest on its contracts, if any; third, toward principal of its notes, if any; and last,~~ toward 
114.32 	the principal of its contracts~~, if any~~. While more than ~~one note or more than~~ one contract is 
115.1 	held, priority of payment ~~of interest~~ must be given to the one of earliest date~~, and after~~ 
115.2 	~~interest accrued on all notes is paid, similar priority shall be given in the application of any~~ 
115.3 	~~remaining amount to the payment of principal. In any year when the receipts from a district~~

115.5 	~~must be added to the principal, and the commissioner shall notify the district and each county~~ 
115.6 	~~auditor concerned of the new amount of principal of the note or contract~~.

115.7 	Sec. 14. [174.13] TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES CAPITAL PROGRAM.
115.8 		Subdivision 1.Establishment; accounts. (a) A transportation facilities capital program 
115.9 	is established to prioritize among eligible projects that:
115.10 	(1) support the programmatic mission of the department;
115.11 	(2) extend the useful life of existing buildings; or
115.12 	(3) renovate or construct facilities to meet the department's current and future operational 
115.13 	needs. Projects under the transportation facilities capital program are funded by proceeds 
115.14 	from the sale of trunk highway bonds or from other funds appropriated for the purposes of 
115.15 	this section.
115.16 	(b) A transportation facilities capital account is established in the trunk highway fund. 
115.17 	The account consists of all money appropriated from the trunk highway fund for the purposes 
115.18 	of this section and any other money donated, allotted, transferred, or otherwise provided to 
115.19 	the account by law. Money in the account is appropriated to the commissioner for the 
115.20 	purposes specified and consistent with the standards and criteria set forth in this section.

115.26 	highway bonds may be issued to finance the construction, improvement, and maintenance 
115.27 	of the public highway system in the state. The legislature assumes that many projects for 
115.28 	preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital assets will constitute the 
115.29 	construction, improvement, and maintenance of the public highway system within the 
115.30 	meaning of the constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting 
115.31 	principles, and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than 
115.32 	by direct appropriations for specific projects.
116.1 	(b) When allocating funding under this section, the commissioner must review the 
116.2 	projects deemed eligible under subdivision 3 and prioritize allocations using the criteria in 
116.3 	subdivision 4. Money allocated to a specific project in an appropriation or other law must 
116.4 	be allocated as provided by the law.
116.5 		Subd. 3.Eligible expenditures; limitations. (a) A project is eligible under this section 
116.6 	only if it is a capital expenditure on a capital building asset owned or to be owned by the 
116.7 	state within the meaning of accepted accounting principles as applied to public expenditures.
116.8 	(b) Capital budget expenditures that are eligible under this section include but are not 
116.9 	limited to: acquisition of land and buildings and the predesign, engineering, construction, 
116.10 	furnishing, and equipping of district headquarter buildings, truck stations, salt storage or 
116.11 	other unheated storage buildings, deicing and anti-icing facilities, fuel-dispensing facilities, 
116.12 	highway rest areas, and vehicle weigh and inspection stations.
116.13 		Subd. 4.Criteria for priorities. When prioritizing funding allocation among projects 
116.14 	eligible under subdivision 3, the commissioner must consider:
116.15 	(1) whether a project ensures the effective and efficient condition and operation of the 
116.16 	facility;
116.17 	(2) the urgency in ensuring the safe use of existing buildings;
116.18 	(3) the project's total life-cycle cost;
116.19 	(4) additional criteria for priorities otherwise specified in law, statute, or rule that applies 
116.20 	to a category listed in the act making an appropriation for the program; and
116.21 	(5) any other criteria the commissioner deems necessary.

117.22 	(h) Grant money may be used to upgrade existing facilities to comply with the bleacher 
117.23 	safety requirements of section 326B.112.
117.24 		Subd. 4.Technical assistance. To the extent possible, the commission shall provide 
117.25 	technical assistance on skate park planning, design, and operation to communities.
117.26 		Subd. 5.Agreements with local governments and cooperative purchasing 
117.27 	agreements. (a) The Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission may enter into agreements

APPENDIX 

Repealed Minnesota Statutes: 20-8466 

126C.65 FUND ESTABLISHED; DIVISION INTO ACCOUNTS.Subd. 2.Debt service loan account. 
A debt service loan account must be maintained out of which loans under section 126C.68 must be made. All money appropriated to the fund by section 126C.66 shall be paid into this account initially. 

126C.68 DEBT SERVICE LOANS.Subdivision 1.Qualification; application; award; interest. 
Any district in which the required levy for debt service in any year will exceed its maximum effort debt service levy by ten percent or by $5,000, whichever is less, is qualified for a debt service loan hereunder in an amount not exceeding the amount applied for, and not exceeding one percent of the net debt of the district, and not exceeding the difference between the required and the maximum effort debt service levy in that year. Applications must be filed with the commissioner in each calendar year up to and including July 1. The commissioner shall determine whether the applicant is entitled to a loan and the amount thereof, and on or before October 1 shall certify to each applicant district the amount granted and its due date. The commissioner shall notify the county auditor of each county in which the district is located that the amount certified is available and appropriated for payment of principal and interest on its outstanding bonds. The auditors shall reduce by that amount the taxes otherwise leviable as the district's debt service levy on the tax rolls for that year. Each debt service loan shall bear interest from its date at a rate equal to the average annual rate payable on Minnesota state school loan bonds most recently issued prior to the disbursement of the loan to the district, but in no event less than 3-1/2 percent per annum on the principal amount from time to time remaining unpaid. Interest is payable on December 15 of the year following that in which the loan is received and annually thereafter. 

Subd. 2.Note. 
Each debt service loan must be evidenced by a note executed on behalf of the district by the signatures of its chair or vice-chair and the school district clerk. The note must be dated November 1 of the year in which executed, and must state its principal amount, interest rate, and that it is payable at the commissioner's office. The note must have printed thereon, or the commissioner shall attach thereto, a grill for entry of the date and amount of each payment and allocations of each payment to accrued interest or principal. The note must also include a certificate to be executed by the county auditor of each county in which any portion of the district is situated, prior to the delivery of the note, stating that the county auditor has entered the debt service loan evidenced thereby in the auditor's bond register. The notes must be delivered to the commissioner not later than November 15 of the year in which executed. The commissioner shall cause a record to be made and preserved showing the obligor district and the date and principal amount of each note. 

Subd. 3.Warrant. 
The commissioner shall issue to each district whose note has been so received a warrant on the debt service loan account of the maximum effort school loan fund, payable on presentation to the commissioner of management and budget out of any money in such account. The warrant shall be issued by the commissioner in sufficient time to coincide with the next date on which the district is obligated to make principal or interest payments on its bonded debt in the ensuing year. Interest must accrue from the date such warrant is issued. The proceeds thereof must be used by the district to pay principal or interest on its bonded debt falling due in the ensuing year. 

Subd. 4.Levy. 
Each district receiving a debt service loan shall levy for debt service in that year and each year thereafter, until all its debts to the fund are paid, (a) the amount of its maximum effort debt service levy, or (b) the amount of its required debt service levy less the amount of any debt service loan in that year, whichever is greater. The district shall remit payments to the commissioner according to section 126C.71. By September 30, the commissioner shall notify the county auditor of each county containing taxable property situated within the school district of the amount of the maximum effort debt service levy of the district for that year, and said county auditor or auditors shall extend upon the tax rolls an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the district in the aggregate amount so certified.
